Hi, guys!
I am BRAND new to machining,however it is a life long ambition.
My goal is to make cool little puzzles and primarily gun work. I want to be able to turn barrel blanks, mill slides and eventually receivers.
My questions right now are about equipment.
Are combo lathe/mill any good?
What is the best lathe in they sub-$2000 range for gun work? Is there such a thing?
What is the best mill in the same range for the same purpose?
I am completely new so please excuse my ignorance.
*DISCLAIMER* I am well versed in the legalities of firearm manufacturing, so no worries about that.
